The flow area alone was not enough. Hydraulic radius and slope set the channel discharge.
The pipe stayed level. Velocity increased from 2 to 6 m/s, and pressure fell from 300 to 284 kPa.
The diameter fell by half. The velocity did not merely doubleβit rose from 1.5 to 6.0 m/s.
The water was motionless, but pressure still increased with depth.
